CRXDE Lite Xpath contains() query only returning results when property is specified

I am trying to run a query against any node inside the path I specify, returning any nodes that contain any property containing the string 'foo'. To do so, I use this query suggested by CRXDE Lite:

 

/jcr:root/content/path//*[jcr:contains(., 'foo')] order by @6655266:score

 

I get no results.

 

But, if I specify a property, let's say html:

 

/jcr:root/content/path//*[jcr:contains(@html, 'foo')] order by @6655266:score

 

I get results.

 

Doesn't the '.' mean to search all properties? If so, why does it not return the results that I receive when I specify a property?

I am not sure why that would happen as my comment above was tested on a local OOTB AEM 6.5 instance and gave the expected result.

If you do not have a concern about data loss on local then try the below steps:
> Stop the local instance

> remove crx-quickstart folder

> restart instance

Then try this query

/jcr:root/content/we-retail//*[jcr:contains(., 'men')] order by @jcr:score

Hi, 

 

I ran the below query, in CRXDE query tool, with property for example below, I got one result as only one node had title containing text 'foo'

/jcr:root/content/we-retail//*[jcr:contains(@jcr:title, 'foo')] order by @jcr:score


And when I ran the below query which has '.' instead of a specific property, I got all resultset containing foo in any of the node properties.

/jcr:root/content/we-retail//*[jcr:contains(., 'foo')] order by @jcr:score

    Thank you for the reply!

     

    Interesting, I just tried replicating my experiment in our development environment, and it worked perfectly, just as you've captured. But following the same steps in my local 4502 environment yielded the results I shared in my initial post. Both environments have the same package installed.

     

    Any idea what might cause my local environment to behave this way?

      In AEMaaCS local SDK, there is no Operations console (hence no Query Diagnosis/Performance tool)

      Can you confirm if your local SDK is latest as that of the DEV cloud service instance? 

       


      The SDK version was mismatched, so I deactivated the old SDK, downloaded the matching SDK, fired it up, installed my code, installed my package, and unfortunately I'm seeing the same results. I'm also seeing some weird UI issues when I choose "query;" deleting the cookies in my browser fixed those, but did not fix the issue with the query results.
